Mubarak noted "some signs of change" in the U.S. position, regarding Iraq, following the debates of the U.N. Security Council and the reaction of international public opinion. He cited, in this connection, President Bush's recent statement that the pre-emptive strike against Iraq is not the only option under scrutiny.
Mubarak equally touched on the Palestinian issue. "We must act and bear in mind that Washington supports and will continue supporting Israel," he stressed.
He blamed Israel's Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for unwillingness to sign any peace accord with the Palestinians.

Unlike Yitzak Rabin, the ex-Israeli Labor Prime Minister, killed by a Jewish extremist,
"Sharon will never sign any accord with the Palestinians, and even if he ever does, he will renege on it."..."Some non-official U.S. personalities share my assessment in this regard," he added.
Sharon's tenure as Prime Minister, which started two years ago, witnessed 80 suicide attacks against only six during the three years of Ehud Barak's mandate, Mubarak deplored, adding, "this is a sign of the Palestinian people's despair."

Mubarak warned that the situation risks worsening further, if political negotiations are not resumed. The construction of a security belt will not prevent Palestinians from waging attacks against Israel, he said.
"We have enough of bloodshed and perdition of resources on Israeli and Palestinian sides," stressed Mubarak, who added that his country and Morocco, which chairs the Al-Quds Committee (an arm of the Organization of Islamic Conference) strive for the establishment of a genuine peace in the Middle-East.
